One of the best pieces of advice I ever got on this subject came from my academic advisor in college. <br /> "Never, ever work for free. In the long term it will be worth exactly what they're paying you."<br /><br />There are so many people complaining that they can't find a job...<br /> <br />There are so many companies complaining they can't find applicants for jobs...<br /><br />Hmmm... it's almost like the people claiming to be desperate aren't looking in the right place?<br /><br />Mike Rowe had a great awakening, working with a doctor who quit his job to work at a sewer treatment plant.

Between my husband and I, we were approached for Amway 15 times in the first three weeks of moving in. The bookstore, the hardware store, the grocery store, the airport, neighbors, even the plumber (who didn't solicite us during the work hour, but took time to call us later and ask if he could speak to us about a business opportunity).
